"The vibe: Intimate, indie guest houseTop amenities: Luxury tubs and showers, white noise machines, rooms with skylights, private patio and balcony room options, free bicyclesLocation: East AustinBest for: Eastside style and a local feel Walk onto the porch of the green renovated 1920 Craftsman bungalow in eclectic East Austin and take a pause on the swinging egg chairs. An easygoing, friendly feel is apparent upon entry to the seven-room guest house. With light beaming in from the lobby skylight upon entry, the cozy yet open space provides a place where the bright and free spirit of Austin can be embraced. A Marfa-meets-Palm-Springs patio serves as the centerpiece for second floor guest rooms, which open up onto the tranquil courtyard space. Every room features original longleaf pine hardwood floors and local art, while also offering something unique in style and mood. Room three boasts a shower skylight, room five has a fireplace, and room seven has a private balcony that overlooks the courtyard. This East Austin hotel choice should be at the top of your list." - Alexandra Toto
